Tasting Notes
The 2012 vintage shows a deep ruby color. The nose exalts sweet black fruit aromas mixed with smoky, licorice and tabacco. The seductive mouth expresses some purity and a refreshing crispness, supported by delicate tannins. With A beautiful finely spicy length, this rich wine will evolve gracefully over the years.
Presentation of the vintage
After a dry and very cold winter, the first buds appeared during the beginning of March. The cold months of April slowed the blossoming down and the flowering only started around May 25th. Summer set in towards mid-July with a slow berry ripening. Starting August 15th, green harvesting was carried out sttoogly in order to homogenize the fruits' maturity. The warmer temperatures in the second half of August and September helped ripen the berries nicely.
